The Adams Family (John Adams, Zelda Adams and Toby Poser) are back with a horror film comes from an incident in their own lives. This time out a young woman goes to see a witch when she is diagnosed with a disease that regular medicine can’t help. The problem is there is a cost she never expected.
The Adams are masters of visceral folk horror. Their horror comes from a place close to nature and things long forgotten. The horror films dirty and unclean. In films like HELLBEND, WEHERE THE DEVIL ROAMS, and THE DEEPER YOU DIG they play with mood and a sense of unease that grows into something terrifying. The result are films with no big release of fear and with an after effect that lasts for days.
Such is the case with MOTHER OF FLIES. This is another trip to the backwoods where evil lives and it will haunt your dreams. Days after seeing the film I am left feeling uneasy, not wanting to turn around and afraid to replay the film over in my head lest the beasties come get me.
This is a great little film and a continuation of the great run for the family Adams.
